Bronze is an alloy consisting of copper and mostly tin, but can also include other metals such as aluminum, manganese, or phosphorous. Bronze valves are generally harder than brass, and can resist corrosion and metal fatigue better than steel. Bronze, Brass valves feature bronze and brass construction. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, offering malleability and corrosion resistance, with added durability. It is stronger and harder than copper, yet more malleable than steel and iron, allowing it to resist cracking. Brass can withstand extremely high temperatures, and will not rust. Lead-Free Bronze valves are suitable for use in potable water applications.
